Chair's Messages

This month, I had the honour of addressing the MD class of 2024 at their convocation ceremony. For graduates, this occasion celebrates the completion of a significant chapter in a lifelong story. So, as we mark the end of another academic year and our residents celebrate the completion of residency, I would like to share it with you also.

How do we hold both these things as true—that match rates are stable, and that is still not good enough? That our discipline is struggling, as are the communities we serve; and that we are lucky to do meaningful and important work even in the midst of that struggle? Do we want to lead with the good news or the bad news?
